HoReCa Cast Iron Pizza, Crepe & Pancake Pans

Cast Iron Cook & Serve Pans for Professional Food Service

In restaurants, cafés, hotels and professional kitchens, cookware needs to offer more than cooking performance. Service speed, heat retention and the contribution to table presentation are also important. LAVA HoReCa cast iron pizza, crepe and pancake pans are available in different handle, size and beech serving wood options, allowing prepared recipes to be cooked and served in the same cookware.

From Kitchen to Table: Cook & Serve Experience

The heat distribution and long-lasting heat retention of cast iron support controlled preparation of pizza, crepes, pancakes and a variety of hot dishes. Particularly for crisp-base pizzas served directly from the oven to the table, the high heat retention of cast iron helps keep the dish warm throughout table service. To achieve consistent results in your establishment with the right cooking temperature and dough balance, you can refer to the basic tips and baking techniques in our Guide to Making Pizza at Home. Models supplied with beech serving wood help transfer the hot cast iron cookware to the table in a safer and more complete presentation.

These products can be particularly suitable for open-kitchen concepts, breakfast services, sharing plates and establishments looking to serve hot dishes directly at the table.

Choosing the Right Model for Professional Use

Handled models support easy positioning and control on the hob, while double-handled models provide an alternative for transferring cookware from the oven or preparation area to the serving point. When choosing a model for your establishment, consider the following features together:

• The recipe to be prepared and portion size

• Pan diameter and suitability for the serving area (20 cm for individual pide or pizza portions, 26 cm for standard menu presentations, and 28 cm for larger sharing dishes and larger pizzas)

• Whether a handled or double-handled design is more suitable

• The need for a wooden serving base

• The dimensions of the hob and oven to be used

• Daily service volume and presentation style

The dimensions and usage information for each model should also be checked on the relevant product page. Before making your decision, explore our Crepe and Pancake Pan Buying Guide to compare surface, diameter, edge and handle options.

Versatile Use for Pizza, Crepe and Pancake Presentation

The wide, flat cooking surface allows different recipes to be prepared using the same product range. Cast iron pans can be used not only for individual pizzas and breakfast dishes but also for hot starters, sharing plates and different presentations suited to your establishment's menu concept. If you are adding pide, lahmacun or speciality dough-based dishes to your menu, explore the cooking and presentation recommendations in our Guide to Making Dough-Based Dishes in a Cast Iron Pizza Pan to make use of the heat-retaining properties of cast iron.
